Mortal Kombat FOR SALE

[SNT]

Court documents surrounding the company's fight for survival have shown that Midway executives have set aside $3,755,000 in bonuses, which is to be divided amongst the company's upper management tier if they're able to meet certain goals.

One of those goals was in offloading Wheelman, which Ubisoft just picked up. So that's $497,500 in the pocket. Another objective is being able to secure the "execution of an asset purchase agreement for the sale of Midway's Mortal Kombat franchise assets".

Midway are finally handing over the reins to the Mortal Kombat franchise.  Chances are it will be bought by a team that will breathe new life into it.  New Street Fighter, new King of Fighters, and now a new team behind Mortal Kombat... will this be the new age of the versus fighter?

Hope it falls on the right hands.

Congrats Midway, you managed to muster the same stench of dishonesty like any other Enron.

With money to spare. Hire some kids from high school aspiring to become game designers. Have them make a follow-up to MKII.

gonna say ea buys mortal kombat

I know that Midway's hurting for cash right now, but I have to question the wisdom in selling off MK.  I mean, the don't have anything else to their name.  Giving up Mortal Kombat seems tantamount to closing down altogether.

[PotS]

FTR there was another article at some MK site explaining that they don't have to sell MK, so don't take this for granted yet.

That would make the series worse. Unless they let the team who did Def Jam: FFNY do it.

[Titiln]

ea would have to try really hard to make mortal kombat any worse than it is

[MDI]

This is crazy news.

I just hope that months from now we hear news of a new MK game by a company such as Capcom being created. (Not going to happen, but just saying..we can all dream.)

[#Shaun]

Google should buy the franchise then MK will take over the goddamned world.

[Yabuki-San]

As PotS Said, Mk Should Fall In to The Right Hands And I Bet Its Nintendo, And Oh Nintendo, No Brutal Mario Kameos (lol) Exept If It's A Brutality When He Gets A BIG MUSHROOM And Squashes Them Like Heck

I would rather have Capcom get MK than Nintendo.

Hell, I'd rather have Microsoft or Sony get Mortal Kombat than Nintendo. I don't trust Nintendo with MK.

Either do I. Mario & MK should NEVER join forces. It's like mixing orange juice with your corn flakes (yeah, I spilt my drink in my cerials once).

[bobbydiji]

I wish I had enough money to buy it. lol It would turn in to the nightmarish blood fest I always dreamed it could be.

[Mgbenz]

Buying it doesn't automatically give you powers to program a full game.

EA makes some pretty shitty games. So don't underestimate an idiot. Just when you think you got them figured they go a peg lower than they already have.

[nightmarePRT]

mk is pretty bad now but without the original team i think its going to get really bad and disapear like sonic for exemple
